Maraming Salamat Po FMAdigest Karangalan at Karunungan Nobility and Knowledge Award Sam L. Buot Sr. Grandmaster Max M. Pallen The FMAdigest wanted to recognize a couple practitioners for their dedication and support of the Filipino martial arts and the Filipino culture. This is what their award states: In recognition of the dedication, promotion and support of the Filipino Martial Arts. For selfless devotion, integrity and greatness of spirit, you have exemplified the highest type of leadership with uncompromising commitment to quality and excellence for the preservation of Filipino Martial Arts Culture, Science and Heritage. It is an honor and privilege for the FMAdigest to recognize: And with this said it was decided that Sam L. Buot Sr. and Grandmaster Max M. Pallen were recognized with this award for 2009. Just to learn a little about these to practitioners here is a short word and then their Special Editions so you can know more about them. Sam L. Buot Sr. Sam Buot, Sr., was born in Cebu City on March 24, 1936, eldest son of Alfredo and Susana Lagrito-Buot. He grew up in the rough neighborhood of Katipunan Street in the Labangon District of Cebu City. He learned the rudiments of eskrima from Teddy Buot, who lived next door. Sam left home at the tender age of twelve to study at Silliman University in Dumaguete, Negros Oriental, from high school through law school. Eskrima was limited to the summer vacations. Except for some neighborhood boxing, with smelly gloves and old-fashioned bare-knuckle brawls, serious studies of the arts did not occur until after college. Besides education, the university polished his dull edges with some culture. However, the enduring Darwin’s theory of the "survival of the fittest and elimination of the unfit," never totally left him. After college, he found himself heir to his father’s struggling real estate business. He built up his business to an extraordinary success. He developed subdivisions, acquired real estate and had arguably, the most successful brokerage firm in Cebu City at that time period. After college, he resumed his eskrima studies, although business and his law practice competed for his time. During martial law in the Philippines in 1972, owning firearms was a capital offense, punishable by death. The only legitimate way to defend one-self was through martial arts. This intensified Sam’s interest in the martial arts, most especially eskrima. Self-defense became an urgent matter. He was smitten by the sophistication, finesse and elegance of the art, especially since it was indigenous to the Philippines. In the age of colonial mentality, nothing home grown was deemed good, only foreign made goods and imported ideas were believed worthy. It dawned on Buot that the Philippines had something original and indigenous, which was comparable and sometimes even better than many concepts of self-defense. As a staunch nationalist, he wanted to promote the Filipino art. This time he could afford to hire the best instructors. He proceeded to hire all talents in Eskrima and other martial arts - including Anciong Bacon. He worked out during and after office hours until near curfew hours at midnight and more intensively and extensively on weekends. This went on until Martial Law triggered his departure for the United States. Eskrima obsessed him. It was a way to escape his frustration with the oppressive and dispiriting Martial Law regime of the conjugal dictators Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos. Buot has adapted the more open, progressive and tolerant attitude towards innovation and the growth of Eskrima - although he is vigorous in the defense of the integrity of Eskrima as a Philippine art. He does not however Student and enthusiast of the art. believe in rigid and narrow-minded inbreeding. Inbreeding is discouraged in the propagation of the species, thus the forbiddance of incest. It is discouraged at schools of higher learning. Otherwise, there is no infusion of new knowledge and ideas. It is seldom that the student can excel beyond his teacher if he is not innovative and original in his thoughts, unless he is willing to learn beyond what he has learned or even to question what he has learned. As much as unadulterated Eskrima is much desired, it cannot be denied that a majority of our students have had their basic martial arts experience at and from other arts. Many of them are martial arts instructors and school owners. It is thus necessary to know the defenses against the strengths of these other arts and to take advantage, power and control over their weaknesses. Sam Buot believes that although Eskrima does not have all the answers, it does provide a lot of the answers and defenses to these other arts. When Buot’s students learn Eskrima, he encourages them to apply their knowledge in either offense to or defense against eskrima. He also believes that for every counter, there is a corresponding counter. Only practice and mastery of your art is the key to reflexive counters and confidence. Sam Buot has researched and innovated techniques but refuses to take credit - always crediting his teachers for his knowledge. To know about Sam Buot Sr. visit his website: Balintawak International - www.sambuot.com Download - Special Edition Grandmaster Max M. Pallen Professor Max Pallen was born and raised in the province of Camarines Sur, in Bicol Region, located at the Southern part of Luzon in the Philippines. He was first exposed to the Filipino martial arts at the tender age of six by his Grandfather Luis Moratillo. His father, Zacarias “Kid Baron” Pallen also exposed him to the art of “Panuntukan”. His experience in street fighting goes back to his younger years in the Philippines. Professor Max Pallen was a young engineering student in the University of Nueva Caceres in Naga City, Camarines Sur in the Philippines. In 1959, his father thought that it would help him develop a more prosperous future by sending him to Honolulu, Hawaii, but Max decided to go to California one year later. At the beginning it was all hard times for young Professor Pallen. Working side by side in the field with the “Manongs” (senior Filipino workers) on the farm. Fortunately, a year after, in 1961, Max was able to find a permanent job in Oakland, California. While hanging out at the West Lake Bowl billiard room section, he met a combat jujitsu instructor who began instructing him in the combat style of self-defense. In addition, Professor Pallen continued his interest with other styles of martial arts. Looking for a stronger foundation and cultural identity, he decided to return to the Philippines to study and research Philippine martial arts.

  • Explanatory Note
    THIRTEENTH CONGRESS OF THE REPUBLIC ) &$j -5 25 ’LIP ’ OF THE PHILIPPINES 1 Second Regular Session ) SENATE S.NO. 2258 Introduced by Senator Manuel “Lito” M. Lapid EXPLANATORY NOTE The history of “Arnis de Mano” also known as “Kali or Escrima” in the Philippines can be traced way before the arrival of the first Galleon ships in the Archipelago. The first recorded account of the practice of “Arnis” reveals that it is primarily used by natives for tribal combats. It has been called by different names during the time such as kali or kabaroan in Ilocos, pagkalikali in Cagayan, lcalirongan in Pangasinan, kaliradman in Samar and Leyte, and esfocado or esgrima in Bicol. During the Spanish occupation, “Arnis” evolved as a sport coming in three variations: espada y daga ( sword and dagger) which uses a long and short stick; solobaton, or single stick; and sinawali, which uses two sticks and employing movements similar to sawali weave. Some of our national heroes like Jose Rizal, Andres Bonifacio, Antonio Luna, Gregorio del Pilar, and Gregorio Aglipay were known to be practitioners of “Arnis”. Because of the intricate use and danger of “Arnis”, which is one of the main weapons of our forefather2 in the battle of Mactan where Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan was killed, Spanish authorities in 1596 discouraged its practice. All these historical accounts imply that “Arnis” really originated in the Philippines. Renowned encyclopedias refer to “Arnis” as Filipino Martial Arts. Similar native sports in other Asian countries like Korea’s Taekwondo, Thailand’s Muay Thai, and Japan’s Judo, to name a few, have become internationally accepted sports.
